LOL alaskadad - We do offer all different advise don't we ?
Ok...here is my version of stopping the itchies -
Chanel plays in the water ALOT. She got itchy last year - I got some Vetrenarians Best Spray on Moisture Mist
SKIN Conditioner and used it after she had a bath - within 12 hours - she stopped scratching and never had another itch since - well...maybe a few but if I see her itching - I spray a little on her skin and leave it on and Voila - no scratching - I had great luck with this stuff and petco sells it for about 8 bucks a bottle
